Coating systems for confectionery and baked goods that shine in every way
Brilliant colours, long-lasting shine and no sticking – Döhler coating systems give your products the striking appearance they deserve. Designed for visual impact without affecting taste, they add the final sensory touch to confectionery and baked goods alike. This page takes you through our solutions for confectionery and bakery coatings: from tailored systems for chocolate, fruit gums and soft dragées that combine exceptional brilliance with smooth processing and easy handling, to plant-based glazes for baked goods that ensure uniform gloss, controlled browning and efficient application. With numerous technical benefits designed for modern production, our coating systems support you in achieving the perfect finish – visually and functionally.
Chocolate Polishes
Ideal for
- all kinds of chocolate
Chocolate not only needs to taste good – it should also look appetising too. Döhler produces a wide range of chocolate glazes and food varnishes that give chocolate intensive, long-lasting shine. Chocolate dragées require a corresponding surface treatment. Edible filming agents made from gum arabic, glucose syrup or starch combined with a shellac solution are applied to the surface. Precise knowledge of the entire coating and polishing process enables the products to be used efficiently. The chocolate polishes are extremely stable, free-flowing and easy to work with even under difficult production conditions.
Particular advantages
- Low viscosity
- Ready to use
- For universal use without special adaptation to the chocolate type
Fruit Gum Polishes
Ideal for
- fruit gums and jelly items based on gelatine, starch, pectin, gum arabic and carrageen
Whether fruit gums and pastilles, traditional or foam wine gums or jellies – they all need final surface treatment to ensure that the individual sweets do not stick together in the packet. To achieve this, Döhler offers fruit gum polishes: a dispersion of natural waxes in highly-stable, sustainable plant oils, that prevent the confectionery from sticking together. They are characterised by outstanding shine that has a positive effect on the confectionery’s freshness and taste. Thanks to a particularly small particle size distribution in the waxes, the coatings have an extremely soft and pleasant mouthfeel.
Particular advantages
- Very fine particle size
- Available in sustainable qualities
Liquorice Polishes
Ideal for
- extruded liquorice and laces
Extruded liquorice is a shiny, jellied confectionery with a semi-solid consistency. Before packaging, the extruded laces are covered with a special liquorice polish. This increases the product’s shine and ensures that the pieces do not stick together in the packet. Döhler provides a wide range of premium liquorice polishes for this special application. The liquorice polish is available as a ready-to-use solution or as a concentrate that needs to be diluted before use.
Particular advantages
- No shellac
- Concentrate can be diluted individually to optimise performance
Sugar Polishes
Ideal for
- all types of sugar-coated nuts, fruits and chocolate centres, as well as soft dragées
Polishing is the final step in dragée production. Whether sugar-coated chocolates or soft dragées, the sugar polish emphasises the shine and quality of the natural colours. The polishes protect against moisture and give the sugar coating a high-gloss surface. They are characterised by their neutral taste and fast drying and polishing times.
One of the most important steps in the production of baked goods is their surface treatment: A high-quality glaze is essential for achieving consistent browning, controlled shine and a premium finish on products like burger buns and other baked goods.
Available as liquid or powder form – MultiShine Glazes are plant-based and universally applicable across various product lines and dietary requirements, making them ideal for modern, flexible production environments.
Key Benefits:
- Efficient Application: Glaze powder is easily reconstituted at room temperature and can be applied by spray or roller prior to baking. Residues on baking trays are minimal and easy to remove.
- Superior Finish: Delivers an attractive, uniform gloss and precise browning – supporting strong shelf impact and consumer appeal. Shine and browning level can be easily adjusted.
- Flexible Formats: Available as ready-to-use liquid or powder format – with the benefit of the powder variant to reduce shipping volume and storage costs.
